Germans Force the Fighting, While Allies Try to Check Advance of Teutons. London, England—On the anniversary of the great battle of Sedan, where 26,000 French and Germans lost their lives on Sept 1, 1870, in the Franco-Prussian war, 3,000,000 men Tuesday were reported in a gigantic struggle that may determine again the fate of Paris. Fight Near Historic Battlefield. The fighting took place not far from the historic battlefield where Marshal MacMahon surrendered and Napoleon III became a prisoner, sealing the doom of France. While the titanic battle was being waged in northern France Tuesday 3,000,000 other men, Russians, Germans and Austrians were in desperate conflict on Russia's western frontier, making a grand total of approximately 6,000,000 men fighting on the same day. In France the Germans were supposed to have forced the fighting to celebrate the day properly with another victory, while the French, with their British allies, sought to wipe out the defeat of 44 years ago. The crucial battle, which might well develop into the decisive conflict of the war of 1914, was reported to be in progress about 75 miles from Paris, the line of combat extending for 50 miles. Position of Armies. The German line is supposedly along a curve, beginning at Perrone in the west and extending through Guise, north of Lesier and Sedan to the Lorraine. Hence it extends to Belfort, where the lower portion of the Germans are beyond the French line of defense. The French were in immediate contact with the Germans all along the line, the allies battle front extending in front of the forts at La Fere, Laon and Rheims, west of the Verdun-Belfort line of defense, with troops pushed into Lorraine at several points. The allies, in the latest reports from Paris, claimed to be holding their center. They admitted being forced to give way before the Germans on the left, but without their lines being broken at any point. There was no substantial difference between this report and that of the Germans, except that the latter claimed some slight advantage in Lorraine. Fighting is believed to be still in progress with no decisive result. Abandon Attack on Fortresses. Because of the activity of the Russians in east Prussia the Germans have been forced to abandon their proposed attack on the French fortresses of Belfort, according to a dis.

Labor, agricultural and horticultural organizations not conducted for profit are exempted from the provisions relating to monopoly. THE GAZETTE RULER OF FRANCE AND OFFICIALS LEAVE PARIS Government Members Will Remain in Bordeaux During Hostilities. Paris, France.—The president and members of the government and all embassies of the allied nations left at 10:50 Wednesday night for Bordeaux, where they will remain during hostilities. Ambassador Herrick, who has taken charge of the archives and embassies of all the belligerent powers, will remain in Paris with First Secretary Bliss and the second secretary. The United States will be represented in Bordeaux by John W. Garrett, United States ambassador to Argentina, who left with the government, accompanied by Third Secretary Stuart Ambassador Herrick, remaining here, will be enabled to afford great protection to Americans, as the ambassadorial residence is neutral territory where Americans may find refuge in case of need. His presence here will also make it possible for the American banking interests to continue operating with a view to relieving possible distress of Americans. The removal of the seat of the French government to Bordeaux followed almost immediately upon the issuance of the proclamation by the minister of the interior, who explained the reasons back of the transfer. The proclamation said that the military authorities were responsible for the removal, having decided that the fortifications of Paris, while not positively certain to be attacked, undoubtedly would be the pivotal point of the field operation of the opposing armies. patch from Basel, Switzerland, via Rome. The 150,000 Germans who, with several huge Krupp guns crossed the Rhine to advance on Belfort, have suddenly been withdrawn from Alsace to take the place of the German troops withdrawn from northern Lorraine to oppose the Russians in the east. By this movement of the Germans the French are now in a position to reoccupy Alsace if they can spare the men for it. There are only some 40,000 German reservists in the province. A wounded French soldier reaching Paris was authority for the story that a large detachment of German cavalry was surrounded in the forest of Compiegne and subjected to a murderous fire from the French artillery, by which Germans were mowed down until in some places the dead were three feet deep. An Antwerp dispatch said that the Belgians were planning aggressive tactics against the Germans. With few of the kaiser's troops left there the Belgians are planning to cut the German lines of communication from behind and then to attack the Germans from the rear while they are engaged in the decisive battle with the allies. 8,000 Veterans March. Detroit, Mich.—Approximately eight thousand veterans, the remnant of the Grand Army of the Republic, still 50 divisions strong, passed in review at the national encampment here. More than a quarter of a million people applauded, and many wept as the old soldiers, doing their utmost to conceal faltering steps, marched down the main business thoroughfare. The line of march was a mile and a half long. The review was accomplished without serious incident, with the exception of several heat prostrations. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, SEPT. 5, 1914. OLDEST AMONG BAPTISTS. Wood River Association Preparing For Big Celebration at Alton, Ill. Alton, Ill.—The celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Wood River Baptist association in Alton Sept. 1 and continuing through the week is one of the most important events in the religious activities of the race in this section of the country for the early fall season. The Wood River Baptist association is the oldest Baptist association in the country, and the selection of Alton for the celebration is important because it was here Owen Lovejoy had his printing press, which was destroyed because he dared to advocate the abolition of slavery. This will give the people an opportunity to visit Lovejoy's monument and to learn something more of his work for the freedom of the colored people. The association is presided over by Rev. H. H. De Wilt of Jacksonville, Ill., and Rev. E. H. Borden of East St. Louis is the corresponding secretary. Some of the leading preschers in the state belong to the association, and the executive committee has been careful to select some of the best speakers in the state to deliver addresses, among whom will be some of our prominent women. Governor Dunne has been invited and has accepted the invitation to deliver a special address. It will be the first time in the history of the association that the governor of the state has delivered a special address. A big crowd is expected on this occasion. There will be a Washington day, at which time Dr. Booker T. Washington, the wizard of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, is to speak. A parade will be held on this occasion by the Sunday school children and boy scouts. Children from St. Louis and surrounding towns will be present and take part in the parade. The president of the national Baptist convention, Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., is to speak on national Baptist convention day, and on the same day Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, one of the most interesting characters in the race, will deliver an address that are many other prominent educators and ministers to speak during the week. Rev. G. C. Mason, chairman of the local committee and pastor of the church where the celebration is to be held, says that the people are prepared to entertain 2,000 delegates and visitors and even more if they should come. "Alton has never had a real large convention among our people," he said, "and we are going to show the people what we can do. Of course we will be assisted by all the people of all the churches in Alton. We shall be glad to have them take an active part with us. Large delegations are expected from various points in Missouri." ROYAL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING Grand Lodge Convenes at Pine Bluff, Ark., Tuesday, Sept. 1. Pine Bluff. Ark.—Great preparation is being made here for the annual session of the grand lodge of the Royal Circle of Friends, which meets in this city on Tuesday, Sept. 1. This will bring to Pine Bluff perhaps the largest crowd of men and women that has ever assembled here in any kind of convention. The Royal Circle of Friends is one of the strongest organizations in the country among the members of the race and has attracted much attention. It was organized by R. A. Williams, M. D.; J. Williams, M. D., and Mrs. Luu Blount. It is the most modern and progressive organization in the race and has a membership of 30,000 scattered in seven states and continues to grow. In the session will be some of the most noted men and women of the race present from all parts of the country. The grand lodge will be composed of doctors, lawyers, merchants, bankers, artists, stenographers, college presidents, editors, professors, teachers, ministers—in fact, every line of business, trade, profession or labo followed by members of the race will be represented at the session. The campus and buildings of Branch Normal college have been selected, and in the uniform ranks together with five circle bands will be in camp on the college campus. This organization holds up to the race a great future in that it is making places for the young men and women, and at the same time encouraging the boys and girls to educate themselves. It teaches the doctrine of self help, industry, honesty and thrift, and the man or woman who would eat bread or wear clothes must earn them or get out of the way. Dr R. A. Williams, the president, is one of the leading men of the race in this country and is a successful physician. From his youth he has had a desire to do something for his race, and as a result comes the Royal Circle of Friends. The order publishes a good weekly paper. Already $200,000 have been paid out on death claims, and the order has now over $80,000, which is considered a good showing. New circles are being formed rapidly and an effort is being made to report not less than 75,000 members at the session Sept. 1. There will be a number of social features connected with the approaching session. The street parade and drill will attract much attention, and several prominent men will deliver instructive addresses. BUSINESS MEN HOLD THE LEAD Local Business League as the Precursor of Wonderful Commercial Advance Among the Colored People in Tennessee Capital—Board of Trade Also a Great Tower of Strength. By RALPH W. TYLER. Nashville, Teen—There is a delightful aroma of culture pervading this Fiskized city that is equaled only by the traditional hospitality of its citizens. I refer especially to the colored citizens. The atmosphere which dear old Fisk university has germinated here has produced some splendid men and women and invigorated activity. Nashville has a powerful lever for business progress among our people in its Negro board of trade which evolved from its Negro Business league. I have previously stated that in every city I have visited where there exists a strong, active Negro business organization there one finds business progress. The Negro board of trade here of which that most efficient business man, J. C. Napier, is president, is doing much for the colored people of this city. The Negroes of this city have $7,000,000 in real estate on the tax books in their name. Wonderful. They have $3,000,000 in cash on deposit in the local banks. Marvelous. They have two banks that are being efficiently conducted, which shows that the Negro, as a promoter of financial institutions, is no nondescript. The Dime Savings bank, of which Lr. R. H. Boyd is president and J. C. Hapier cashier and guiding genius, is the oldest, and so wisely has it been conducted that were it to go into voluntary liquidation today it could pay depositors dollar and pay depositors dollar and pay depositors dollar the 67 per cent dividends already paid. $1.95 for every dollar invested in its stock Nashville has a Negro owned cemetery which, for size, beauty and the care taken it, surpasses anything of its kind in the country. It has a pleasure park, purchased, improved and conducted by Preston T. Lor, that has no counterpart in the country as to area, natural beauty, amusements and character of its buildings. Nashville is the home of the Baptist Publishing House, that wonderfully systematized plant, giving employment to 150 young colored men and women, which was founded by Dr. R. H. Boyd. It is also the home of the A. M. E. Publishing House, whose success has been made secure by Ira T. Bryant's efficient management. The largest nursery and horticulture plant in this city is the one owned and long conducted by Joe Brown and known far and wide as the Llischy nursery and greenhouses. The three days spent in this city carefully investigating every phase of Negro life, especially in business, convinced me that the 40,000 of our people in this city have registered a high water mark of business, of economical success equaled by but few communities and surpassed by none. Here you will find the race actively and successfully engaged as manufacturers, printers, publishers, furniture dealers, electricians, bankers, grocers, real estate agents, merchandising transfer, theatrical, architects, etc. Taken as a whole, this is a community of Negroes who are strongly religious, but who, as Dr. Boyd has urged, have put business into their religion. The religious intensity of the people here is evidenced by the fact that there are fifty-two Baptist, thirty-seven A. M. E. three Presbyterian, three Congregational, one Catholic, one Church of God, three Christian, one United Brethren and one Seventh Day Adventist churches, a total of 102 churches. There are thirteen public schools and five colleges, and these employ 147 teachers and prosecute. Sixty-two physicists and measure the health of the community, eight dentists look after the care of the community's teeth, and nine lawyers find sufficient civil and criminal practice to maintain good offices and an air of prosperity. Exclusive of the two banks there are twenty-five corporations in this city under Negro control. It would be pretty hard for any community, however, under the spur of leadership of such men as J. C. Napier, Dr. R. H. Boyd, president Taylor, Henry Allen Boyd, A. N. Johnson and Ira T. Bryant, with others, not to make great advance along all lines of helpful endeavor. A Negro population that can boast of possessing real estate to the value of $7,000,000 and cash in bank to the amount of $3,000,000 needs no other recommendation to convince the world that it is a desirable class or that the race is making commendable progress. Some of the other Negroes who are contributing most effectively to business progress of the race in this city are W. T. Hightower, W. D. Rucker, A. S. Rucker, W. G. Hymes, William H. McGavick, Felix White, Eugene Price, H. S. Morton and Assistant Cashier Langston of the Dime Savings bank. As previously stated, the Negro board of trade, as an organization and each member individually, is a powerful lever for business progress of the race here in Nashville. LOTT CAREY CONVENTION. Foreign Mission Body Meets In Ra- leigh, N. G., Sept. 2. Raleigh, N. C. -Great preparations are being made for the annual session of the Lott Carey foreign mission convention, which convenes in First Baptist church in this city Wednesday, Sept. 2. Besides hearing addresses from prominent church workers, the convention will endeavor to raise $10,000 with which to continue the successful missionary and educational work that it is now carrying on in West Africa. A school and a mission house is now being erected in the interior of Monroe, and it is expected that it will be ready for occupancy within a few months. The following from the Rev. W. H. Thomas to the Rev. Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, corresponding secretary of the convention, gives a slight idea of the work being done under the auspices of the convention. Dr. Thomas says: "The Rev. J. O. Hayes is faithfully assisting in the new work, and the Rev. G. D. Gayle is looking after the making of cement blocks for the new building. Without them we would find it difficult to move along with the work as successfully as we are. It takes much time and patience to build in this country, where there are no railroads and practically no other kind of roads. Only those who have had the actual experience of erecting buildings in Africa can know the difficulties attached to such work. The Rev. C. C. Boone is our medical missionary." Among the features of the session here will be the annual address of the president, the Rev. C. S. Brown of Winston-Salem, N. C., and a detailed report by Dr. Alexander, the corresponding secretary, on the work done and the needs of the convention. The convention was organized sixteen years ago and has raised over $50,000 for missionary and educational work in west Africa. A large part of the burden of the work has fallen upon the shoulders of the Rev. Dr. Alexander, who has filled the office of corresponding secretary since the convention was organized. The present officers of the convention are: President, C. S. Brown, D. D.; REV. WILLIAM M. ALEXANDER. vice presidentes-Virginia, H. L. Barco, D. D.; District of Columbia, W. J. Howard, D. D.; Pennsylvania, O. S. Simms, D. D.; Maryland, Rev. A. B. Callis; New Jersey, Rev. E. D. Daniels, Tennessee, C. H. Johnson, D. D.; North Carolina, Dr. W. T. Coleman; New York, W. M. Moss, D. D.; recording secretary, A. W. Pegues, Ph. D.; corresponding secretary, W. M. Alexander, D. D.; statistician, G. E. Reid, D. D.; auditor, A. A. Graham, D. D.; treasurer, Rev. J. H. Hughes. The executive board consists of A. Binga, D. D; W. T. Johnson, D. D; W. H. Stokes, D. D; J. E. Jones, D. D; Brother T. C. Walker, Rev. M. C. Rux, D. D. Lewis, D. D; Dr. A. M. Moore, F. R. Roberts, D. D; R. V. Peyton, D. D; C. Somerville, D. D; G. D. Wharton, D. D; F. Morris, D. D; A. B. Vincent, D. D; G. W. Goode, D. D; Brother W. P. Epps, J. H. Boone, D. D; Rev. H. W. Washington, Rev. F. C. Campbell, Rev. E. Ricks and J. W. Maldron, D. D. The Woman's Auxiliary, which meets Thursday, Sept. 5, has the following officers: Mrs. L. A. Hope, Richmond, Va., honorary president; Mrs. J. H. Randolph, Washington, president; Mrs. G. O. Bullock, Winston-Salem, N. C., recording secretary; Mrs. Anna L. McGrinn, Baltimore, recording secretary; Mrs. J. H. Blackwell, South Richmond, Va., treasurer, and Mrs. G. P. Shepherd, Winston-Salem, N. C., president of the executive board. Branch Work of National Association. The Portland (Ore.) branch of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People is stirring up much interest in the work among both the colored and white people in Portland. The branch has held two very profitable meetings during the month of August. One of the judges of the circuit court has been invited to deliver the principal address at the public meeting to be held the latter part of August. The branch recently received a very encouraging letter from Mrs. Nettle J. Asberry, organizer, with headquarters at Tacoma, Wash. Important Meeting of the Baptists. The national Baptist convention, which is to hold its thirty-fourth annual meeting in Philadelphia for five days beginning Wednesday, Sept. 9. is the largest organized body of the denomination in America among our people. The sessions will be held in Convention hall on Broad street. The Rev. Dr. William Parks, pastor of the Union Baptist church, is chairman of the general local committee of arrangements. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS Heroic defender of the Belgian forts at Liege, who finally was forced to surrender to the Germans. Destruction at sea during the first month of the general war has been greater than the naval losses during the entire Spanish-American War, when the value of the merchant vessels captured is taken into consideration. The cost of the war on many instances very valuable, must be added to the warships that had been destroyed. The following are the naval losses thus far reported: tair Report: German and Russian fleets fight off Aland islands. Russians reported to have lost one ship. Aug. 5—German mine layer Konigen Lulse sunk by British torpedo boats in North sea. Aug. 6—British cruiser Amphion sunk by mine in North sea. Aug. 9—German submarine sunk by British cruisers in North sea. Aug. 14—German cruisers Geeben and Breslau sold to Turkey to escape capture. Aug. 16—Austrian cruiser Zenta sunk off Antivar, Montenegro. Aug. 17—Unnamed German dreadnaught reported out of action and ashore at Trondheim, Norway. Aug. 18—British battleship Zinny reported sunk by French warships. Aug. 26—German cruiser Magdeburg blown up by her commander in the Gulf of Finland to avoid capture. Aug. 27—German commander cruiser Kaiser Wilhelm II. Grosse sunk off West African coast by British cruiser Highflyer. Aug. 28—Austrian destroyer sunk off Cortu by British destroyer. Aug. 29—Two German cruisers and two destroyers sunk and third cruiser put to flight, afire and sinking, by British fleet off Cux Haven. Act Is Declared Violation of Neutrality and German Official Protests. Peking, China—Japan has landed between 10,000 and 15,000 troops from 18 transportes at Lung-Kow, a newly opened port about 100 miles north of Tsing-Tau. This is declared here to have been done in violation of China's neutrality. The German legation has protested to the foreign office against an infringement of China's neutrality. News of the Japanese landing caused no surprise here as the Japanese legation several days ago requested the foreign office to remove the limit of the 50 kilometers (about 30 miles) radius prescribed by the Chinese as the fighting area around Tsing-Tau. The foreign office did not comply with the request, but it was understood the Chinese troops would be instructed not to oppose the Japanese, Chinese officials are described as incensed but afraid of doing anything that might afford the Japanese a cause for territorial or other exactions. SAYS HE SHOT PRINCE BELGIAN SOLDIER DECLARES HE FIRED THE BULLET THAT KILLED VON BUELOW. London, England.—In a dispatch from Amsterdam the local correspondent of the Central News says the shot which killed Prince Von Buelow, German general, was fired by a Belgian private named Rosseau. Rosseau was lying badly wounded among a group of dead comrades when he saw a German officer standing beside his horse and studying a map. Picking up a rifle from beside a dead German, Rosseau fired at this officer and wounded the Officer subsequently proved to be Prince Von Buelow. Aviator Falls. Lives. New York City—His imagination fired by the exploits of aviators in the European war, F. A. Thompson, an aviator, fell 2,000 feet here demonstrating his idea of dropping bombs from an aeroplane flying upside down. Thompson escaped with only a fractured leg because he succeeded in righting his machine when near the earth, breaking his fall. The aviator rose 2,000 feet, turned his aeroplane over and hurled three dummy bombs, when his engine stopped. The machine darted straight downward. THE WORLD UNITED MANY KILLED AND HURT IN PRUSSIA Both Russians and Germans Claim Victory in Fierce Engagements. Czar's Army is Reported to Have Taken Lemberg, Capital of Galicia. RUSSIA REPORTS TOLL OF WAR. London—Toll of war taken by Russian forces invading Galicia, as the result of seven days of terrific fighting, includes the slaughter of 14,600 Austrians, seizure of Lemberg'sifications, capture of thousands of prisoners, consolidation of artillery and precipitate flight of vanquished troops. This, in brief, is the havoc described in an official announcement received here from the Russian general station in Petropolis, the Russianized name of the czar's capital. The Russians also report that the Austrian 15th division was completely routed during the attack on Aug. 29 and that 100 officers and 4,000 soldiers were taken prisoners. The official statement adds that the commander of the Austrian division stationed in Petropolis, the guide and chief of staff of the division were killed. Of the 4,000 men made prisoners, 600 had been wounded. London, England—In east Prussia and Galicia both Russians and Germans claimed victory. The Austrians were overwhelmingly defeated. The Russians claimed to hold Lemberg, the capital of Austrian Galicia, and the report was unofficially corroborated from Vienna. Stupendous losses were reported on all sides. The Russians declare that they buried 15,000 Austrian dead on the battlefields. The fighting in east Prussia and Galicia was far more sanguinary than that in the western theater of war. Berlin Claims Victory. Berlin officially claimed the destruction of three Russian army corps and the complete rout of the Russian invading forces. The Russian invasion in east Prussia has been entirely checked, said the Berlin statement. The Russian army corps referred to by the German account, however, were believed to be the same that Germany claimed to have defeated Tuesday at Allenstein when it is asserted 70,000 prisoners were taken by the Germans. The Russians admitted the loss of two army corps, 80,000 men in killed, wounded and prisoners, but declared that the Russians were pushing onward into Prussia and that nothing could stop them. The Russian investment of Koenigsberg is complete, according to a statement by the Russian general staff, the fortress being besieged and part of the town in Russian possession. A dispatch from St. Petersburg said that the Russian army against Austria had taken complete possession of Lemberg, the capital of Galicia, after a desperate battle in which the Austrian army was all but crushed. The surviving Austrian regiments were surrounded, the Russians claimed, and the entire Austrian army of 1,000,000 is in danger of annihilation. Two million Russians are said to have been engaged. The battle between the Russians and Austrians began eight days ago on the Dneister river. The Russian reports of the fighting said that it was one of the bloodiest battles of modern times, the Austrians losing 4,000 men and 100 officers prisoners and numbered thousands dead and wounded. Whole brigades of Austrians were annihilated, and the Austrian prisoners include men of highest rank. The Russians admitted appallingly heavy losses but gave no figures. The loss of three generals is conceded by the Russian general staff. An official statement received here from Vienna, while not confirming the occupation of Lemburg, said that the entry of the Russians into the city was inevitable and that, therefore, the archives were removed. An official statement issued in Berlin declared that the Germans had captured Lodz, the largest manufacturing city in Russian Poland, after inflicting a severe defeat on Russians. LOUVAIN WIPED OFF THE EARTH London.—That Louvain was wiped off the face of the earth by the Germans without the slightest excuse is the allegation made by the Belgian legation here. The city has been completely destroyed. All of its magnificent buildings are in ashes. Its art treasures have been destroyed. The inhabitants are prisoners under guard of German soldiers. The city of Louvain, reported destroyed by the Germans, was one of the most picturesque in all Belgium. It was a city of 42,000 inhabitants and rich in famous buildings erected in the 15th and 16th centuries, when Louvain was the capital of Brabant. Open for Business. Washington, D. C.—Uncle Sam's marine war risk insurance bureau, designed to inspire confidence in American shipers and aid American trade expansion, is open for business at the treasury department. President Wilson has signed the act creating the bureau and Secretary McAdoo announced the appointment of W. C. Delaney of New York, an underwriting insurance expert, as director of the bureau. Delaney is now ready to insure American ships and American cargoes in American ships. The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY SUBSCRIPTION RATES (In Aavance) One Vear..cesseseesvsesss+81.80..

A victory this, fall, all along the line, and their confidence restored, they. will cease to see spooks, and “Foraker, the Sistesman” will come into his own again, There's a president to be elected in 1916 and this. administra. tion is such @ cowardly affair I think we will be ready for a strong, ageres- sive man—not a bully. not one who will Interfere with oflier nations in their ‘private affairs, but one who will insist on other nations not inter- fering with our private affairs, and who will command respect because nelther coward nor bully, he respects others and expects respect in return. ‘And in all this land, there is none detter-suited to this than Joseph Ben- son Foraker, soldier, statesman, Chris Man gentleman!

RECOVER LOST MONEY RECOVER LOST MONEY MANY INSTANCES OF REMARKABLE RESTORATIONS. Carelessness Responsible in Some Cases, and Failing Memory in Others, but All Wound Up in Satisfactory Manner. John Neary of Williamsburg left a pocketbook recently in a pair of trousers which had been taken to a cleaner. The pocketbook contained $1,150. Neary did not recollect that he had failed to transfer the money when he transferred his trousers, so when he missed the pocketbook he started a police search. While he was defectedly awaiting reports the doorbell rang and the tailor delivered the $1,450 which he had found but a moment before. Not long ago a drummer left Cleveland for Denver and was horrified en route to discover that a bill fold in which he had $700 was not in the pocket where it should be. The drummer dashed off the train at Chicago and did a lot of telegraphing to the Cleveland police. Then he thought he would accentuate his concern by going to Cleveland in person. He did so and spent two days there, hoping for good luck reports. Just as he was about to leave his hotel for the Chicago train the clerk said: "What's the matter. Mr. Kollins? You haven't looked yourself since you came from Chicago. What's the matter?" The drummer at the request of the police had kept mum about his loss. He thought he might as well tell of it, now that the money was gone. And he did. "Too bad, too bad; indeed, I'm sorry," said the clerk. And as the drummer walked off with his grip he called: "Will you want this envelope this trip, Mr. Rollins? You told me to hold it, you recall, until you came back from Denver." The drummer pounced on the envelope. It was the $700. He had left it with the clerk for safety at a time when he did not know what the next few hours might bring forth with a few boon companions. It is on record that a satchel containing $14,000 was left on a seat in the Grand Central station in New York for half a day. The police in the meantime were scurrying all over in search of it after the distracted woman who owned the satchel had reported her loss. And strange to say the last time she could remember having the satchel was fully ten hours before it was carelessly left on the seat. A cleaner knocked it to the floor inadvertently and his attention was centered on it for some time afterward because he had heard a rattle as it dropped. After an hour had passed and no one had taken possession of it the cleaner turned the satchel in to the parcel room. There it was finally found. There are many instances of people hiding money in their sleep and having no knowledge of where it was in their waking hours.

And alas! the south had first to forge her own weapons, nay, even to build the forge. In all the south there was no training school for social workers, few social experts, few libraries of social science. The single library of Columbia university contains more valuable books than are owned by all the colleges of the south put together. So the first thing was to train leaders, all the way from district nurses to sanitary engineers. The new south is daring. It not only contemplated a school for social workers whose faculty of white experts should teach in a negro department as well as in classes of their own people, but it dreamed of rallying seven religious denominations to the support of the training school. The dream has come true. The American Interchurch College for Religious and Social Workers opens its doors on the 14th of January. The negro department, opened on the fifteenth anniversary of the proclamation of emancipation, has been in operation almost a year. The school has astutely sat itself down in the shadow of Vanderbilt university and Peabody college (training school for normal teachers) in order to establish a co-operative trist, no one of the colleges duplicating the advantages of the other two, students of one passing freely to lectures in the others. Since the negro department is situated at a little distance (and also because negro students in the south do not go to a white college), professors and social experts from the north will repeat their addresses at Nashville Institute for Negro Christian Workers. Economy is achieved by this happy arrangement. Each of the seven co-operating denominations will eventually have its own training-school on the campus, building and owning their own halls and giving at their own expense all instruction in denominational doctrine, polity and methods, while the Interchurch college provides a faculty to give all courses which can be taken in common by all the students. This amounts to about four-fifths of the whole curriculum. The social service library, already opened, will be at the command of all, and a chapel, gymnasium and administration building for common use No such adaulacious system of church co-operation has yet been launched in America, nor do I know its parallel anywhere. It is estimated that the maintenance of seven distinct denominal national schools with seven distinct faculties would require an annual outlay of $105,000. Yet the seven, together with the training schools maintained by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. can be handled co-operatively for $70,000 a year. The saving is actual, too, for the demand for social workers of every sort is so strong throughout the south that the denominations would be compelled to build independently had it not been for the interchurch college. The south is full of the raw material for social work, college men and women who want only expert training to make the finest kind of instruments. The south needs not imported northern experts, but home-bred workers who know their ground.-Mary Bronson Hartt in Washington (D. C.) Star. In these days of great achievements it is possible to reach heights before unknown by short cuts. The Japanese have assimilated western civilization in about a half century from the time, in 1853, when Commodore Perry of the United States navy first entered the harbor of Tokyo, the capital of Japan, and forced the Japanese to give up their policy of isolation and nonintercourse with foreign nations. There is no question that the colored people have assimilated American civilization in 300 years of contact and are today the equals of the other varieties which make up cosmopolitan America. The difference between the literacy of the white and colored peoples is not so great as the census would seem to indicate. The dense mass of ignorance is in the South, and the difference between the literacy of the southern colored man and the southern white man is very small. In Chicago, owing to the large foreign population and the fact that all native citizens have had equal advantages, there is probably less illiteracy among the colored people than among the whites. Russia has 57,612 miles of navigable inland waterways; Germany, 11,293; France, 7,862; England, 3,906; Holland, 3,250; Sweden, 3,187, and Belgium, 1,440. The value of gold produced in the Gold Coast and Ashanti during 1912 was $2,045,455, the largest production on record. There are 1,237 British gas companies in England and Wales, 260 in Scotland, 110 in Ireland, 161 in Australia and 72 in other British possessions. One playground in New York city occupies a site valued at $1,800,000. English gas companies recently bought more than one million tons of coal from Germany. Merchant vessels launched by all countries last year had a total tonnage estimated at 3,322,000 tons, the greatest on record. "French briar" is produced in Sicily, Calabria, Corsica and of late years Algeria. Some twenty thousand persons are attracted usually to Hampton institute, the pioneer industrial and agricultural training school for negro and Indian youth, founded in 1868 by Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong at Hampton Va. These visitors from all parts of the world, are attracted by the unique and effective educational methods which Hampton institute has been successfully employing for over forty five years in training negroes and Indians for unselfish and efficient service in the home, on the farm, in the shop, and in the kitchen. Hampton institute is an industrial village with some 1,200 or 1,300 students, 200 teachers and workers, 140 buildings, and an instruction farm of some 600 acres. Whatever work the Hampton school needs to have done, the students are usually prepared to do. Farming, home-making, teaching and the common industries form vital parts in the training of Hampton institute boys and girls. Blacksmithing, brick-laying and plastering, carpentry and cabinetmaking, machine work, painting, printing, shoe making, steamfitting and plumbing, tailoring, tinsmithing, upholstering and wheelwrighting, are the trades which are offered by the Hampton Institute Trade school. In the busy shops, on the scaffolds of new structures, in odd nooks and corners of the Hampton grounds, negro and Indian carpenters have for many years been daily mastering the building art and have been preparing themselves for life's emergencies by learning how to make the best possible use of their resources—time, tools, skill and moral qualities. Today the construction of the Hampton institute buildings and the necessary repairs are being satisfactorily done by student tradesmen. When it was necessary to remodel the principal's home, one of the oldest buildings on the Hampton campus, negro and Indian tradesmen did the necessary tearing down and building up. These operations were no easy tasks. The bulk of the work had to be done in hot and trying weather. The boys labored with a will. They were happy to have an opportunity of doing well what professional builders considered a difficult piece of work. The College of Missions, which is in the charge of the Flanner House settlement, has bought three adjoining vacant lots in Colton street, Indianapolis, which will be converted into a playground. The Flanner house owns four pieces of property and four lots. Plans are being made for an extension of the work. The free cooking school, which is being conducted this summer under the supervision of Mrs. Marion Colefisher, has met with the heartiest response, especially from the mothers in the neighborhood. The work is in the charge of two young women from the College of Missions, one of whom is neighborhood nurse. The main building has been remodeled and things will be in readiness for a resident worker this fall. Rev. H. G. Dertchik, who has the supervision of the social settlement work being conducted in the city under the auxuries of the College of Missions, is outlining plans to create larger interest in the children's department and to increase the force of volunteer family visitors. The play hour, which is conducted each Saturday day during the school year, will be developed into a larger feature this year. An illustration of the value of effective training in the industrial arts is furnished in the graduates of Tuskegee, Booker T. Washington's school. There are more than one hundred of these trained young men and women in Chicago, according to Fannie Barrier Williams. A recent investigation shows that none of them is out of employment. The following is a partial list of the occupations in which they are engaged in this city: Two are practicing law, two are veterinary surgeons at the Union stock yards, three are undertakers, three are plumbers and steamfitters, five are merchant tailors, two are shoemakers, three are dressmakers, two are electricians, one an assistant meat inspector at the stock yards, there are three trained nurses, three carpenters, ten clerks in the post office, one editor and publisher. Wireless telephoning between Paris and a suburb of Brussels recently was accomplished. Out of a total coinage of $62,800,000 produced by the Paris mint last year, $47,200,000 was in gold. To encourage boring for oil the government of South Australia has offered a large bonus to the first person or corporation producing 100,000 gallons of crude 90 per cent petroleum from a well. George Sanford of Bath, Me., has an old-fashioned mortar and pestle standing 14 inches in height, which has been in his family for 150 years.

Jay Pogers, a catcher of the New York Americans, was unconditionally released by Manager Frank Chance. Derrick has grown into a very important part of the Cub team in the short time that he has been with it. Edgar Collins, the new outfielder of the Pittsburgh club, came from the San Antonio club of the Texas league. An unexpectedly early opening of the cotton season has led to a plan to close the Georgia State league season early. The New York Sun says a blind man went to a Yanks' game the other day and enjoyed it. Well, we can understand that. Dick Hobbitzel and Mike Mitchell, who formerly played with Cinninnatt, are getting along all right in the American league. The Murray and Boise clubs have been dropped from the Union association and the league will continue with four clubs. We have been waiting to hear a holder from Ping Bodie about that rumor that he's to be sent to Milwaukee. Nary a peep. The Opelika club of the Georgia Alabama league has deposed Newell as manager and replaced him with Outfielder Steele. Old Larry Lajote has been benched. Manager Hirmingham has put Ivan Olson on second. Pezold, a new player, is guarding third. The veteran Ralph Glaze has drawn his release at St. Joseph. He pitched some good ball early, but of late has been unable to win. Heinie Zimm says he will never be put out of a ball game again. Evidently Heinie is under the impression that the summer is over. Eddie Collins has joined the Pittsburgh Pirates. This Collins, however, is an outfielder and no kin to the second baseman of the Athletics. Honus Wagner knows he is about ready for the scrap heap and has told some of his friends he would likely terminate his baseball career with this season. President Gilmore says that he has 15 major leaguers signed up for the 1915 season. But what we'd like to know is: Do they play big-league ball or not? The Detroit club denies that it has bought Outfielder Bill Jacobson from Chattanooga, but it has made an offer for Outfielder Jacobson of the Brockton Colonial league team. Karl Hodge, star all-round athlete at Williams college and pitcher on the college ball team for the past two seasons, has been signed by the New York Giants for a trial. Bill Collins, the outfielder who was with the Brooklyn club for several games in the closing weeks of last season, is now playing an outfield position for the Buffalo Federals. Manager McGraw has announced that he is going to stay at home the coming winter instead of going to South America with the Giants and an American league team. Clark Griffith of Washington and Jack Dunn of Baltimore are in a clash over who first saw John Blair, an outfielder who has been playing ball somewhere in West Virginia. William Bierholter is the name of a new umpire in the Central league. He ought to be up in the majors. He'd make a great side-kicker for Pitcher Tincup. With Derrick making good at short for the Chicago Cubs, Red Corrigan may be traded and the Indianapolis club of the American association has put in a bid for him. Charles (Tex) McDonald, utility man of the Pittsburgh Feds, who had become somewhat unpopular in the Smoky City because of his static proclivities, has been traded to the Buffalo Feds for Outfielder Frank Delehanty. "I have plenty of good ball players," says Otto Stifel, the Sloufed magnate. "What a need is spectators." They're playing a lot of overtime games this year. Perhaps the players are conscience stricken and afraid they won't earn the big salaries they're getting. The Federal league boasts of playing games faster than either the American or National leagues, going to show the Federals are considerate of their patrona. --- GEVELAND Catcher O'Neill of Naps. One of the best backstops in the American league is Catcher Stephen T. O'Neill of the Cleveland team. He was born at Minooka, Pa., on July 6, 1892, and is tall and rangy, with a fine build for a catcher. He played independently with the Minook Blues until 1910, when he went to the Elmira, New York State league club, now managed by his brother Mike, the once-noted major league pitcher. He caught 28 games and was released to enable Elmira to keep him from the draft, but Connie Mack's keen eye caught him, and he was drafted by the Athletic club. He went South with that team in 1911, but on the return was sent to Worcester of the New England league, from which club Cleveland bought Him in the fall of 1911. The Brooklyn Nationals say Ollie O'Mara has made more plays at third base than any shortstop in the league. He always is on the alert to cover the base when the third-sacker is called away from his post. Jersey City has given Catcher Bobby Wella an unconditional release. A year ago he was rated one of the best backstops in the International league, but his arm became worthless and he was dropped.

New sports to be held in connection with the 1916 Olympic games at Berlin include golf, boxing, polo, catch-catch-can wrestling, water poto, and weight lifting. The Walkers' Club of America, with headquarters in New York, wants the American Athletes union to add a 25-mile walking race to the national championship events. The war in Europe probably will prevent this year's international balloon race for the James Gordon Bennett trophy, scheduled to start from Kansas City on October 6. Tentative plans for a polo invasion of England next year in an attempt to recapture the international polo cup has had to be abandoned because of the general European war. . . . It looks as if another great runner has been developed in Dismond, the freshman of Chicago university, who ran a quarter mile in 48 3-5 seconds in the Central A. A. U. championships. Foreign golf authorities have started an agitation to have all the matches in the championship match play at 36 holes instead of 18, the latter distance being considered too short for championship contests. Savannah motorcyclists are contemplating staging another 300 mile event over the grand prize automobile course. Thanksgiving day has been selected as the probable date of the meet. American athletes and the followers of track sports are keenly interested in the appearance of W. R. Applegarth, the phenomenal English sprinter, who is expected to compete in the Amateur Athletic union championship in Baltimore. DECOLLETE NOW FOR AFTERNOONS Smart Parisiennes Wearing the Low Necked and Sleeveless Gowns at Converts. REVIVAL OF AN OLD STYLE Fashion Identical With That Popular Fifty or Sixty Years Ago—Severely Simple Costumes Are Being Worn Without Ornaments or Jewels. PARIS.—A few years ago a smart Casino-gown was very much the same sort of dress as that worn by our Parisian beauties at theaters and restaurants. It represented something between an elaborate garden-party toilet and a d'orgnane. But nowadays the ultra-smart Parisiennes are wearing decollete evening gowns at Casino concerts, in the afternoon as well as at night. At least we should have called this style of dress "evening" a very short time ago. It may be accepted as a fact that nearly all the new Casino gowns—whether for afternoon or evening wear—are decollate, and many of these gowns are sleeveless. When sleeves are worn they are invariably made of such transparent materials that they cannot be regarded as arm covers in any serious sense. It is a curious but attractive fashion. And, of course, it is not really a new style. Fifty or sixty years ago our grandmothers wore low-necked dresses, with short sleeves, in the street, and no one considered it an unseemly fashion. At the Trouville and Deauville Casinos very lovely afternoon and evening toilets are being worn this season. I never remember a year in which such picturesque effects were in evidence. Black Charmouse and Black Tulle. There was a charity fete at the Truville Casino and the famous beauty. Mile. Frozanne, appeared in a notable costume. Mile. Frozanne is said to be one of the most beautiful women in Paris and her taste in dress is admittedly perfect. On the occasion in question she was gowned in black charmeuse and black tulle. The corsage—which was made entirely of black charmeuse—was wee Chic Tricorne Hat of Pink Batin. verely plain. In outline it was 1850, and the folds of soft satin were tightly folded about the slender figure. The skirt was also made of charmeuse and then the full, plaited tunic was in black tulle. There were no sleeves and Mile. Forzanne wore no ornaments or jewels. At her waist there were a couple of red-purple roses and that was the sole touch of color, for her picture hat was in black chiffon velvet with curved black mounts. It would have occurred to any ordinary dressmaker to make the folded corsage of tulle, but this particular gown had been created by one of the most influential—and autocratic—sartorial artists in the Rue de la Paix and the effective satin corsage was permitted to remain absolutely and severely plain. Mile. Forzanne exquisite-coloring and wendful violet eyes were shown to great advantage by her somber gown. This idea of wearing no ornaments or jewels is becoming very popular with our exclusive Parisiennes. For some months past it has been considered correct to wear pearls and pearls only—in the daytime, and at night also, except for special occasions. No Ornaments in Afternoon. Now, however, the unwritten law is that no ornaments at all are to be worn with afternoon gowns, or with Casino dresses in the evening, unless for an important ball or fete. This notion is highly artistic and it is approved by leading painters. When no jewels are worn, clusters of flowers are given a place of honor and the Paris curiosity shops are being searched for old paste clamps and buckles for the decoration of velvet bracelets, or for waihtbands. A complete reaction has set in. For nearly a year and a half the Paris dressmakers and their clients laughed at what they called "picture fashions." Everything and everybody was "smart," and rather theatrical. This Infant Mortality Rates In the comparison of cities, the infant mortality rate at Dunedin, in New Zealand, was 3.8, while in New York it was in the same year, 1912, 10.5. Faces for 1910 show New Haven, 10.8. Washington, 15.2; Boston, 12.6; Buffalo, 16.2; Syracuse, 16; Philadelphia, 13.8; Pittsburgh, 15; Providence, 14.4; Cincinnati, 13.1; Newark, 12.4; Milwaukee, 14.5; Seattle, 8.2; Los Angeles, 9.7; Spokane, 12.8; Detroit, 17.9; Indianapolis, 12.3, and St. Louis, 11.5. It will be seen that the rate in St. state of affairs became so serious that a band of portrait and other painters joined together to fight the inartistic tendencies of the age. They designed special gowns for special beauties, they put forward the advantages of artistic fashions in season and out. And their efforts have been crowned with success. "Picture" Fashions Again. "Picture fashions are once more the rage, and as to picture hats, they are larger and more charming than ever. Mile. de Rohan-Chabot was present at the Trouville fete, to which I have just alluded, and she wore a very fessinating gown, which distinctly recalled the 1830 period. It was composed of desert-dawn pink taffetas and patterned with dull blue roses. The skirt, which had a crinoline outline, was arranged in two gathered fountains and there was a little clinging underdress in ivory-white shadow lace traced over with silver threads. This underdress looked like a very smart mittelpiece, and it clung in about the feet in quaint fashion. Pale pink silk stockings were worn and shoes made of silver tissue. The folded corsage was composed of desert-dawn tulle, and Mille de Rohan-Chabot wore a flat picture hat made of black chiffon velvet. This hat was trimmed with a long black ostrich feather which drooped slightly over the brim at one side. Mille de Rohan-Chabot was one of those who wore a sensationally lovely gown at the Duchess de Gramor's "crinoline ball" last season. She is a very pretty girl and universally admired. Black Materials Popular. Some months ago I predicted that black materials were going to come right to the front in the world of fashion. And this prediction has been verified. The rage for black lace and black satin has taken a complete hold upon the society women of Paris. To such an extent have black materials become popular that some of our leading elegantes are again using black satin underwear. So ubiquitous is this fad for wearing black satin, lace or velvet, that one cannot get away from it. At the Trouville Casino every second hat worn by famous beauties is composed of black chiffon velvet. A picture hat I saw last week is one of the most popular shapes of the hour. The brim is wide and at one side it is turned up abruptly. The crown is rather low and some of these picture shapes are left untrimmed, while others are decorated with a single rose and a length of wide ribbon. Gainsborough Again The untrimmed velvet hats are decorated with very handsome jeweled hatpins. These shapes are often quite flat and they are worn tilted up at one side, like the famous hat shown in Gainsborough's portrait of the "Duchess of Devonshire". Another hat, noticed may be regarded as a "Trouville sensation". It was worn at the Casino by a well-known Parisian actress, and at first sight it recalled the war headward of an Indian chief. It was in reality a crownless toque, made of black tulle, with a complete circle of very high black horsehair sigrettes which waves above the head. It was worn with considerable grace, and though some of the onlookers smiled when they saw it, others pronounced it "exceedingly chic."-Idalia De Villiers, in Boston Globe. HAS STRONG HOLD ON FAVOR Varnished Satin Used for Millinery Trimming Shows No Signs of Losing Ground. The path of the varnished satin millinery is broad, and leads straight to the end of summer. By that time it may become wearisome, but evidences point to the fact that it will enjoy a good run of popularity until then. There is no more reason for it to be dropped than for satin, and one must admit that it goes well with the taffeta gowns and the split straw of the day. It is best when simply used. A smart woman wore a black taffeta gown looped up in the back and a straw hat in the old-fashioned sailor shape, around the crown of which was a three-inch band of very soft lacquered ribbon that was drawn to the edge of the brim at the left side and tied there in a loose bow. By the way, while this sailor shape is very trying to the majority of faces, it is beloved by the French woman, as it once was by the American girl of the type made famous by Gibson. Rosemary for the Hair Our grandmothers were firm believers in the magic properties of rosemary in promoting the growth of the hair. That they were right in this is borne out by the verdict of hair specialists today—though nowadays rosemary is seldom used alone, but mixed with other ingredients. Constant hair-brushing was the rule also, and although all sorts of oils and dressings were used to keep the scalp in condition, they didn't believe in washing the hair too often, once in three months being deemed sufficient. Whatever we of the present day may have to say for or against this, one thing is certain—one seldom saw thin, straggly, prematurely gray locks on quite young people in our grandmothers' days. Rose Parasol. One of the prettiest of the summer's parasols is made in a perfectly ordinary umbrella shop, but at the tip of each rib the silk is gathered a little. These parasols are made of shaded silk, very pale in the center and deep rose at the edge. Louis is low compared with other cities, and it is probably lower now than at any time, but it is very much above that of the New Zealand city.

Congressman Franklin Brockson of Delaware smiled the other evening when the conversation turned to signs. He said he was reminded of an incident that occurred in his home state. Some time ago two sweet girls boarded an auto hack that runs from the railroad station to the town proper, and eventually the eyes of one of the pretty pair rested on a sign posted in the front of the vehicle. "Gentlemen will not," she read aloud, 'expectorate in this car; others must not.' "Well," she smiling added. "I certainly like the imperative tone of the last part of the sentence!" "I don't quite catch your meaning, Grace," returned the second. "I am afraid I am a trifle stupid." "Can't you see, dear?" explained the first. "That 'others' evidently means we women."—Philadelphia Telegraph. Saving the Situation. Little Lotte was being taken a journey by train by her Aunt Katie and her young man, and when they got into one of the numerous tunnels of the suburb the smacking of lips was painfully audible to everyone in the compartment, followed by little Lotte lisping: "Kiss me, too, ankle." Light broke on them again before Aunt Kate ceased blushing; but then, with great presence of mind, she turned to her coyish little niece and said: "It is wrong of you to say 'Kiss me two,' my dear, you should be correct and say 'Kiss me twice.'"—Strand Magazine Feeling Betty. Betty, a bright little five-year-old, was a born gossip. It was her custom, as soon as she arrived at her grandmother's, to say: "Come into the kitchen, g'ma, I've got a lot to tell you." Anxie she generally had, being blessed with three grown-up sisters. One day, however, she came in looking despondent. "Any news, Betty?" inquired grandmother. "Not much," said Betty, soberly. "William (Sister Mabel's flance) was over last night, but he and Mabel spelled most everything."—Judge. JOE HANOVER Mr. Turtle—Darling, you take a mean advantage of me. Mr. Turtle—Why, every time I go to kiss you you draw up into your shell. Be Reasonable Parson At a small country church a newly married couple were receiving some advice as to their future conduct. "You must never both get cross at once; it is the husband's duty to protect his wife, and a wife must love and obey her husband, and follow him wherever he goes." "But, sir—" pleaded the young bride. "I haven't finished yet," remarked the clergyman. "She must—" "But please, sir, can't you alter that last part?" My husband is a postman." Commercialism.
